Due to the large number of requests concerning my 'happy' new year, I decided
that the best thing was to post the story to the list. As you read this,
remember 'Only in America. Land of the Free. (NOT!)' :-(
My house is nestled in the center of a circle of surrounding houses. I was
shooting off bottle rockets to 'ring' in the New Year when the people in
front of me shot off their shotgun. The people behind brought out a 9 mm
handgun and shot several shots into the air. A lady in another house called
the police and told them I was firing a gun within the city limits.
By the time the police arrived my house was the only house that still had
lights on. I heard a knock on the door. It was a policeman. I opened the door
and then the screen door. At that point, without explanation, the SS
trooper...er, I mean 'politzei'..er...policeman. ... grabbed me and slammed
me against the wall holding my arms at an awkward and painful angle behind my
back. Another proceeded to touch every part of my body looking for what I
found out later was a gun. The only gun they found was not the type they were
looking for although they made a point of squeezing it a time or two to make
sure.
About this time my roommate came out and he was immediately submitted to the
same degrading search except to add insult to injury they threw everything he
had in his pockets onto the driveway pavement as they found it. When all was
said and done and they actually took time to tell us why they were there, I
wanted to both laugh and spit in their faces but refrained from doing so
because they were carrying weapons which are currently illegal for anyone to
possess under the current gutting of our right to bear arms. I also resisted
the urge to reach out and see what sort of 'guns' they had hidden in the
crotches of their pants. Sort of a 'gun' show and tell. :-)
Anyway, the 'truth' finally came out and they made some sort of ridiculous
'apology' noises. The 7 black shirts (or were they blue?) then got in their
four (count 'em....4) police cars and drove off to terrorize other law
abiding citizens.
Yep, your typically tax dollar at work supporting heavily armed overreactive
thugs, running around in groups, groping innocent people. I went to bed
feeling less safer and even more convinced that freedom in America is a myth
in the minds of idle dreamers.
Hats off to our finest! NOT!

(Sorry for the rant but I am still VERY angry about this unwarranted illegal
intrusion into my privacy)
